Power and Soft washing is a great way to make your home look new again. When it comes to curb appeal and regular home maintenance, these two options are the best way to restore a home’s exterior. The term “pressure washing” is known to most but the process our company actually uses most of the time is referred to as “soft washing.” The National Association of Realtors claims that a pressure/soft wash can add $10,000-$15,000 value to your home, which also makes pressure and soft washing entirely necessary for home-owners who are selling.
Soft washing is a much gentler cleaning method and technique that relies on chemicals and detergents instead of high pressure. The active ingredient, an anti-algicide and detergent, will emulsify and melt away any mold, mildew, algae, and even pests giving your home a brand new finish. Soft washing also uses eco-friendly solvents and cleaners to get out tough mold and mildew stains out of exterior surfaces such as vinyl, fascia, brick, and much more. Soft washing is much more unlikely to cause damage to a home’s exterior. High pressure has been notorious for damaging vinyl siding, stripping away a house's paint, and possibly creating water leaks. Not only is high pressure washing harsh on a home, more times than not, it simply won’t remove organic build-up (mold, mildew) like the soft washing technique will.
Pressure washing is a washing method that uses high-power/pressure water to clean exterior surfaces that are tough enough to withstand it. One of the most popular surfaces that makes sense for this type of cleaning method is concrete. Although concrete is a sturdy house, driveway, and sidewalk structure, most professional companies still don’t exceed 3000 psi. As you may be able to tell, the goal of cleaning any surface is to not exceed a certain pressure depending on the material. Most painted surfaces should not ever be washed with high pressure. Although a home consists of many durable surfaces, you may be surprised at how few things a professional pressure washing company chooses to use high pressure on.
While the two terms “Pressure” and “Soft” Washing are used interchangeably to mean “exterior cleaning,” there are important distinctions. Nearly every single residential home will be leaning towards the soft-washing process, meaning that our company will be using a low-pressure chemical solution, and rinsing off afterwards. It is common for us to use a combination of both, which consistently gives our crew the best results. A driveway will require a sort of pressure washing although here at Top Notch Pressure Washing, we meticulously set the correct pressure for all sorts of possible materials.
The mold on the exterior of your home should be a concern for any home-owner, but the answer for this problem is simply soft and pressure washing. We recommend a professional company to give a safe and effective result but understand it’s not always an option for every homeowner.
